Hope you are all well and enjoying the sunshine and not working too hard. I need to write an Electrical Safety Policy for my company and was wondering if anybody has completed or has any general documents that I could use to help me complete this task. Thanks in advance Steve

Steven, perhaps you could to share your thoughts on the purpose and scope of the proposed document (including the context of your main business). This may illicit a specific response. From a personal perspective, I try to avoid the term "policy" for specifics . The overarching Policy statement should capture the general aims and aspirations for the management of all hazards and risks in the organisation. Instead I would look to prepare specific 'arrangement' type documents around the particular topic or work issue, such as Procedures, Guidance, Standards, Checklists etc. Context will vary depending on what you're trying to cover; e.g. transmission lines, high voltage, low voltage or maybe just portable appliance issues.
